FISHING

Along with hunting, fishing is one of the main leisure activities in the Somme. It has to be said that in the downstream section of the River Authie, anglers actually fish for sea trout. The Manoir has the advantage of being only 3 minute's walk away from from the Authie. Why not enjoy a quiet lunch by the river with a picnic basket made up for you.

THE SOMME BATTLEFIELDS

Your visit to the Somme is a memorial trail.....
Time, of course, is a healer and the once deep trenches and shell craters have been reclaimed by nature. The scenery here is like no other. There are museums here displaying rusting helmets and soldier's belongings, but the emotions have not changed. The landscape is even more evocative when one realises that the soldiers who fought here with such determination were, in some places, within calling distances from each other.

 
 

GOLF

There are five golf courses in the area that welcome amateur golfers of any handicap. They are open all year round and have excellent facilities.

Belle Dune
Nampont Saint Martin
Abbeville
Le Touquet

 
Other attractions in the area: Abbaye - Gardens of the Valley, Crecy Forest, Ornithological Park, Nausica Sea World.
 
Whether you are here to enjoy a weekend or mid-week break, we can accommodate your stay at the Manoir by reserving any activity for you.
